I've used Android extensively, with much hacking courtesy of XDA, (albeit on an older model), and as great as it is, the two devices are two entirely different beasts. Android is great for communication and updates; phone, email, texting, the news, etc. Whereas, Maemo is great for actually getting things done. Which one you value more is up to you, but the fact of the matter is, the N900 is not a phone.
